Another way to see what processes are running, but only for what is in your
current shell or window, is with ps
.
With ps
, the PID
is the process identifier, TTY
shows the Terminal window
running the process, and CMD
is the command that is running.
[euid123@cruntch3 ~]$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
60966 pts/12 00:00:00 bash
61012 pts/12 00:00:00 ps
Because the example was run in a bash
environment, that appears as a line.
If it were run in a C shell script, csh
would appear.
